Bug Description

The bluetooth indicator suggest that bluetooth is disabled (turned off) while this is not the case. See screenshot 1. Only after opening the bluetooth toggle, you can see the actual correct action: turn off. See screenshot 2.

As far as I can remember, this behaviour has been introduced on 17.10.

Yes, this seems similar. With one specific difference. In bug 1738838 you can't turn off bluetooth using the toggle. For me this is possible, but the bluetooth option is then removed from settings dropdown. Need to go to settings and turn on bluetooth again.

And while testing I found a new interesting situation. After turning it off and on again, the option now is correct in the tray. So it states "on" and the dropdown shows "turn off".

I think your point of distinction there is a third bug; bug 1595695.

So let's keep this as bug 1738838 plus bug 1595695.

Just noticed another 'feature'. From a clean boot, the indicator is correct, even on the login screen. But after a resume, the indicator states "off" while bluetooth is actually on.
